UPCOMING EVENTS AT LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY


Tuesday, November 3
TRUE CRIME CLEVELAND: Disorganized Crime
Mark Wade Stone presents selections from Doris O’Donnell’s Cleveland, the Emmy award winning TV series on Cleveland history produced by Storytellers Media Group.
In the mobbed-up seventies, Cleveland became the bombing capital of the United States as unrepentant killers, thieves and thugs ran the city under. But all it took was one Cleveland don breaking the code of Omerta to set in motion the decline of the Cosa Nostra in the United States.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Wednesday, November 4
MEET THE AUTHOR: Front-Page Girl by Doris O’Donnell
When Doris O’Donnell began her six decade career, women reporters were rare flowers, relegated to the fashion and society beats. But with a talent that couldn’t be denied, she challenged her male colleagues and got the scoop on top stories, covering civil rights, baseball, life behind the Iron Curtain, mob hits, political intrigue, assassinations, riots and wars. From the neighborhoods of Cleveland to around the world, her personal memoir provides an intimate look at a life well led. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event. For more Doris O’Donnell stories, check out True Crime Cleveland on page 13.
7:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Saturday, November 7
BACK TO THE MOVIES: Five Decades of Cinema
The Forties: Notorious (1946)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Not Rated
The Master of Suspense takes us down to Rio where Nazi Claude Rains is after Uranium-235, G-Man Cary Grant is after the Nazis, and both men are after dazzling double agent Ingrid Bergman. She is married to Rains, but is in love with Grant. Grant is not sure of her loyalty, but thinks nothing of putting her into one dangerous situation after another. This film features the longest kiss in cinema history which Hitchcock staged during a time when movie kisses were limited to just a few seconds. We’ll find out how he did it.
6:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium

Sunday, November 8
SUNDAY WITH THE FRIENDS: New Age Acoustic: Brian Henke
Brian Henke doesn’t know it, but in addition to being a virtuoso guitar player, he’s a mesmerizing storyteller. You can’t dance to this music and it’s hard to sing along to songs without words. But those with an open heart and a fertile imagination may find themselves transported to worlds unknown, faced with undreamed of adventure. Man, can this guy play!
2:00 p.m. in the Main Library Auditorium
